forces directly to the abdomen, or your neck may contact the shoulder belt,
increasing the risk of death or serious injury in the event of an accident.
lAdjustments should not be made while driving as the seat may unexpectedly
move and cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle.

to 180 seconds after the driver’s door is opened and another 60 seconds after it is
closed again, even after turning the “ENGINE START STOP” switch off.
nCanceling the linked door unlock operation
Turn the “ENGINE START STOP” switch to IGNITION ON mode and
close the driver's door.

rent position and the memorized position will not be correctly recalled.

If a seat position is memorized, the driver seat will move back the set distance
(→P. 621) from that memorized position.

CAUTION
nWhile driving
lDo not adjust the position of the driver’s seat.
Doing so could cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle.
lDo not place a cushion between the driver or passenger and the seatback.
A cushion may prevent correct posture from being achieved, and reduce the
effectiveness of the seat belt and head restraint, increasing the risk of death or
serious injury to the driver or passenger.
lDo not place anything under the front seats.
Objects placed under the front seats may become jammed in the seat tracks and
stop the seat from locking in place. This may lead to an accident, resulting in
death or serious injury. The adjustment mechanism may also be damaged.
nAdjusting the seat position
lTake care when adjusting the seat position to ensure that other passengers are
not injured by the moving seat.
lDo not put your hands under the seat or near the moving parts to avoid injury.
Fingers or hands may become jammed in the seat mechanism.
